    Please Review My Balancing Act

    318 gallons...I used the effect of adding in pool math and it said it should have raised it to be 7.8ppm FC and 7 ppm CYA. Not sure if the age of my 871 for the chlorine drop test could be impacting the results, the powder is hard and caked together, I had to scrape some off with a knife to do...

    Please Review My Balancing Act

    I started the water balance chemistry last night. Here is a link to my log from Pool Mathurin. https://troublefreepool.com/mypool/qVGOZN0 So far I have added enough Dichlor (0.6 oz by weight ) to get to 4ppm, does that mean my CYA is 4ppm also? I'm using a TF-100 ( my reagents are a bit...

    Is this Dichlor? Is this Potassium Monopersulfate (MSP)?

    Two more questions if I may: 1. How do I measure the Dichlor granules? By weight? What is 1ppm equal to in a measurement? 2. When can we start using the hot tub? Once I add my first batch of Dichlor and get some sanitation going and the chlorine ppm is testing between 2 and 6, is that okay? Do...

    Is this Dichlor? Is this Potassium Monopersulfate (MSP)?

    Ok, will return the MPS. I just read the updated article you sent. I think I am ready to start the Dichlor/Bleach method now. One question about pool math, I already have my pool in the app, do I just add another pool and put it as fiberglass and 318 gallons to replicate the hot tub?

    Is this Dichlor? Is this Potassium Monopersulfate (MSP)?

    I'm on the way home to start balancing the water in our new hotub ( installed on Tuesday). Read the sticky thread on how to go about it and determined I need Dichlor and bleach to get started. I stopped at the pool store and asked for Dichlor and non chlorine shock and this is what they gave me...

    SLAM - on track?

    Good morning all, Here are my test results. FC = 0 pH = 8.2 CH = 275 TA = 110 CYA = 0 / 20 (I could see the dot clearly) Although my signature says SWG, I am using Liquid Chlorine for the meanwhile. My SWG is not working and I am working through a warranty claim. My thoughts were this, let...

    Not understanding the lure of robotic cleaners..

    I was able to get her on email and we exchanged a few messages, once I settled on a cleaner, she generated an electronic invoice and I was able to login and pay----can't get any easier than that.

    Dolphin Nautilus Died - What is equivalent model?

    I ended up reaching out to Marina and communicated with Margaret via email. I had my eye on the S200 or Active 20 but she would not have those until the end of August. After a few messages I decided to go with a Triton PS as that one of the few that she had in stock and matches the S200/Ative20...

    Not understanding the lure of robotic cleaners..

    I paid $560 for a dolphin nautilus six years ago and it just stopped working a few weeks ago. I never replaced anything on it during those six years and used it two to three times a week. That works out to $7.78 a month. I'll take that all day long if I don't have to manually clean the pool. I...

    Dolphin Nautilus Died - What is equivalent model?

    Thanks. I have never done any maintenance or replaced any parts. I did find a local authorized Maytronics dealer that I may take it to for them to give me a diagnosis. I figured that would at least let me know what direction I need to go. Hopefully it can be repaired fairly inexpensive and I can...

    By battery pack are you referring to the power supply?

    Dolphin Nautilus Died - What is equivalent model?

    Good morning, I have had a Dolphin Nautilus for 6 years and it stopped working the other day. It runs for a few minutes and then just stops. I figured 6 years is a good run so looking to buy a new robot. I loved this one and it did everything I needed well. This is a link to the one I have now...
